Topics - Phoenix

Here's yet another re-released photonovel from the CTU saga...this time, Jack find himself in trouble with the Geonosians. Well, I won't reveal more, you have to read through it yourself. ;-)

As always, all feedback is more than welcome and appreciated. I do read all the feedback, despite not replying to them too often. I'm terribly sorry about that, it's something I'm trying to improve...

And now...

Jack Phoenix is in Geonosis, searching for evidence that would link the Trade Federation and the Geonosians with each other.

Jack Phoenix (thinking): Well, well, what do my eyes see...a whole droid factory. This is all the evidence I really need.

While eyeing the huge droid factory, Jack doesn't seem to notice that he's actually standing on a slowly-moving platform...

Geonosian Guard: Work faster, the boss wants to be able to produce twice this amount per day!Geonosian Worker: I am, sir! It's just that...the machines aren't exactly in the best possible shape, and thus they're rather slow.

Jack (thinking): Boss, huh? I wonder who is their boss...Nute Gunray of the Trade Federation?

Jack: Aaaaaah!

THUD! Jack falls down, right in the front of the Geonosians...Geonosian Worker: We have an intruder!Geonosian Guard: I'll deal with him, but call for backup in any case, worker.

Jack: Not another step or I'll shoot! You know well that I mean it!

Nevertheless, Jack decides to shoot the Geonosian Guard, but then the cowardly worker attacks him...Jack: You're gonna have to pay for that, traitor!

Jack: Say hello to your buddies.Geonosian Worker: Please, no!

Jack: So much for that, hah! A bunch of losers.

However, Jack forgets totally about the backup the Geonosians called for...

Burt: Come on, we gotta get moving before those damn Geonosians notice that you've escaped.

Burt: We're gonna run to the speeder and grab it as soon as I've notified CTU of our location. And when the guards have gone to a break.Jack: Mmhhh, okay.

Burt: This is agent Burt Reynolds. I'm on Geonosis with a former CTU agent named Jack Phoenix. We need backup, there's an entire droid army against us here.

Jack: This one?Burt: Yeah, looks good enough for us.

Burt: Hold tight, it's gonna be one wild ride!

Jack: The h e l l is this...Burt: Ow, my head!

Burt: Who leaves a rusty vechile of some sort in the middle of the Geonosian desert, honestly?Jack: I'd like to know that too...

Geonosian Worker: Hold it right there, prisoners! You're coming with us!Burt: I'd like to see that happen! Who's gonna force us, you?Jack: Bring it on, we're not afraid of you.Geonosian Guard: As you wish...

Meanwhile, CTU agent Celnah Qualus goes to check his new messagesCelnah: Hmm...one from Geonosis...they weren't supposed to contact me yet. I wonder who it might be?

Burt Reynolds' Hologram: This is agent Burt Reynolds. I'm on Geonosis with a former CTU agent named Jack Phoenix. We need backup, there's an entire droid army against us here.Celnah: Holy...

Celnah takes out his gun and shoots the workstation in order to hide the message from other CTU agents.Celnah: I really hope that I managed to save my neck...

Celnah: Uh, excuse me, sir?Joseph Auda: Yes, what is it?

Celnah: My workstation suddenly blew up and now I'm unable to continue my work.Joseph: Hmm, I see. Please take me to your workstation, agent, and I'll look into the issue.

Celnah: Well?Joseph: You're right, nothing.

Joseph: However, that shouldn't stop your work. Come on, we'll need to talk to the Director.

Dakar Dolan: Hold on, I gotta finish this call first.

Soon:Dakar: So, what can I do to you guys today?Joseph: Well, his workstation suddenly blew up. I double-checked and it's totally busted, so he needs a replacement workstation for the time being.Dakar: Hmmmh...I don't think we have any free workstations at the moment, do we? Then again, I might just have a perfect solution...

Dakar: This field workstation might not be exactly the quality of an office one, but hey, it works. And it's relatively fast, too. Please take it.Celnah: Yes, sir. And thank you, sir.

S-3PO: Sir, are you aware that moments before agent Celnah Qualus' workstation blew up, an incoming message arrived to the laptop?Joseph: Really? That's...odd.S-3PO: I traced the signal back, sir. It came from the planet Geonosis.

Meanwhile in the Director's office:Burt Reynolds' Hologram: This is agent Burt Reynolds. I'm on Geonosis with a former CTU agent named Jack Phoenix. We need backup, there's an entire droid army against us here.Dakar: Oh my! One of our own is in trouble! And a droid army? I think we've found what we've been looking for...

Dakar: Okay, so we're going to Geonosis to save one of our own, agent Reynolds. This is a top-secret mission and giving out any information might jeopardize the safety of agent Reynolds and the other guy, Jack Phoenix. Got it?Celnah: Uhh...Joseph: I understand, sir. So exactly where in Geonosis are we going to?

Harrison Ford: Hello guys. What Dakar told before sounds like real fun - so me and my Division buddies are gonna join this party. You okay with that, Dakar?Dakar: Gah! How did you...nevermind. Feel free to join...just don't jeopardize the mission, Harrison.Harrison: Hey, when have I let you down?

Accompanied by the Clone troopers and the Jedi, the Division/CTU team finds their way to the Geonosis Droid Factory. While the agents are exploring the huge factory, Mace Windu has come to arrest Count Dooku.Mace Windu: This party's over.Count Dooku: Master Windu...

Eyes Only: Good day, sir. I'm Eyes Only and he's my bodyguard, Jack Phoenix.Davy Jones: The Eyes...I've heard a lot of you. Anyway, your apartment is located on Butcher Square 4. Garô can take you there. Now begone!

Garô: Well, sirs?Eyes Only: Could you take us to our new apartment, located in Butcher Square 4?Garô: Sure thing.

Davy Jones: And those guns?Rommel: Taken care already, boss.Garô: Sir, Eyes Only and Jack Phoenix are here now.Davy Jones: Very good, Garô.

But soon, gunshots are heard outside the bunker and Nina Phoenix runs in to tell that the Republic has found them. Nina, Rommel, Jack, Eyes Only and the Geonosian run up to the roof of the bunker to defend Terminal City.

Nina Phoenix: We need to work together to save this city.Jack Phoenix: Nina...I...okay then.

Clone Agent Jagi: C'mon Jack. Surrender now.Jack Phoenix: Why should I?Clone Agent Jagi: Because...well, let's just say that I certainly wouldn't want to be you when Yelenko wakes up.Jack Phoenix: Okay, maybe this time. But promise me that I can break out of their prison.Clone Agent Jagi: Definately you can. I mean, the guards are pretty dumb and all...

Soon, onboard the Star Destroyer Showdown:Clone Commander Yelenko: Well, that wasn't much of an escape, Mr. Phoenix, or was it?Jack Phoenix: ...

Clone Commander Yelenko: Jagi, I want you to get somebody of the officers to oversee the prioner transport?Clone Agent Jagi: What prisoner transport?Clone Commander Yelenko: Veridovich's troopers have caught some high commanders of that city and they're being transported here.Clone Agent Jagi: I understand, commander.

Older Admiral: I know that you're a trustworthy admiral, Jerjerrod. And I'm sure the commodore would also accept this. So, take two security staff members and go oversee that prisoner transportation.Admiral Jerjerrod: Thank you, sir.

Harrison Ford: Uh...hi then. Sorry about that.Clone Agent Jagi: No problem. Wasn't the first time someone pointed me with a gun.

Jack Phoenix: Jagi, go free the Terminal City prisoners and why not all other prisoners. Well plan our attack here.Clone Agent Jagi: That might take a while, though, Jack.

Jack Phoenix: So, we go in into the deck as one, and force everyone against the wall. Jagi takes the commodore, I'll deal with that clone commander myself and you take those security clones. Okay?Harrison Ford: As long as you make sure nobody finds out the real truth.

Soon:Clone Agent Jagi: Come on, guys! You're free now!Ed Jackson: We...are?Jack Phoenix: Yes. Go and pick up some weapons and go kill the clones and officers on this ship. We're about to take over.

It's time for another Henry Phoenix photonovel...but after this, you're going to see something that's a bit better. Well, about that later. But now, Phoenix presents:

Henry Phoenix #4 - Regrouping

The following takes place 1 year after the events of Henry Phoenix #3 - Game Over.

Jack Phoenix has been captured by the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.

Meanwhile, Henry Phoenix and some other staff members of the Order have been called to a secret meeting...

Felon Yorker: And then that moron fell over just like nothin'!Gregor McRae: Hah, good one, Mr. Yorker.Henry Phoenix: I wonder...who called us here?Felon Yorker: Who knows? Somebody with knowledge of the Order, I think.

Xentor Helros: It was me.Everyone: YOU?!

Xentor Helros: I was wondering...we should go to the HQ and find out where are other supporters of the Order, you know...Teuvo: Well, why not.Henry Phoenix: Yeah, agreed.

Xentor Helros: Then we should get going!

Order of the Phoenix HQ:Felon Yorker: Uggh, what a mess!Xentor Helros: Well, this is the only way to central computer room, so...Gregor McRae: Sir, do you mean that we should clean this up?Xentor Helros: Yeah.

Teuvo: I wonder what's under this carbonite slob...Felon Yorker (thinking): Now or never...!

EPILOGUE:Bright Tree Village:Henry Phoenix: That little furball was nice since he invited us here.Jack Phoenix: Yeah...Henry Phoenix: What is it, Jack?Jack Phoenix: I've come here to end the Emperor's reign of terror for once and for all...Henry Phoenix: No! You're too weak!Jack Phoenix: I know I will die eventually, so why not for something good?Xentor Helros: Well...master has a point, Henry...Gregor McRae: Sir, it's been an honour to serve under your command.Jack Phoenix: Thanks, Gregor.Henry Phoenix: Wait! Before you go...umm...could you tell me something about your life before the Order...since...I never got to know you that well...Jack Phoenix: Well, okay bro, but just one story.

Henry Phoenix: I...I could have never thought that somebody is posing as my brother...Felon Yorker: Yeah...

Oracle: Excuse me, sir.Henry Phoenix: What? Who are you?Oracle: I'm the Oracle. But enought of that. I heard that you arrested the Grand Master.Henry Phoenix: Or at least somebody who was posing as Jack, since Felon found out that my brother, the real Jack, is dead.

Oracle: Well, I might be able to prove otherwise. May I?Felon Yorker: What?Henry Phoenix: Sure thing. Felon, step away from the computer.

Felon Yorker: What's he doing?Henry Phoenix: I don't know but I hope that we'd learn the location of my real brother.

Oracle: See?Henry Phoenix: Yeah. "This article has been deemed as a joke."Felon Yorker: So we fell for a joke!

Felon Yorker: That was quite a shock!Henry Phoenix: Yep. I will tell Xentor about this. You should go look after Curtis.Felon Yorker: Oh yeah, Curtis. I almost forgot him.

Felon Yorker: What happened?Curtis Manning: A Jedi Master came in...he said that his name was Fitch. Fitch Adell. He wanted to talk to the traitor, but I didn't allow that. So, the traitor collapsed, I turned my back to the Jedi and then...you came in.

Jack Phoenix: What now?Henry Phoenix: I just popped in to say that you're free to go, since the information about your death was false.Jack Phoenix: Gee, thanks.Felon Yorker: Mind you, but Adell killed Rash Skyhek, and knocked Curtis out. We should transfer him to some other place.Red: Well...Jack Phoenix: I agree.

Henry Phoenix: What should we do? Any ideas?Felon Yorker: Well, I think that we should arrest that "wrong Jack" and make him tell us where he hid the real one.Henry Phoenix: I agree.

On communications room:Mysterious hooded figure: Open up already...

Hologram Vader: What is it? I'm in a middle of a fight!Mysterious hooded figure: I'm terribly sorry, my lord. Anyway, Jack Phoenix will be arriving withing moments.Hologram Vader: At last I can have my revenge on him!

After getting the Imperials after him, Henry Phoenix went back to the base where his boss, Felon Yorker, was supposed to be. Henry interrogated some Imperials about Felon's location and he found that Felon was imprisoned.Henry and Felon became good friends and they stole some top secret information and gave that information over to the rebels.After selling the information, Henry and Felon went to Cloud City because they thought that they'd be safe there, but instead Lando Calrissian almost killed Felon (because of his Imperial uniform) and imprisoned Henry.Henry was freed from the prison by his brother, legendary Jack Phoenix.Together they went to scare Lando and without a notice, Jack was gone...once again.Henry tried to escape and he found a wounded Felon lying on the street.Henry tried to help his friend out of the city, but there was an Imperial admiral waiting for them. And Jack came again out of nowhere and beat the admiral without guns.

The three friends returned to Coruscant and agreed to get a drink, but the bartender was killed with a knife. Jack thought that it was a clear message and it was: Boba Fett appeared and pointed a rifle at Jack's forehead. Despite the rifle, Jack struggled with Fett and won the fight. But just then a legion of Imperial stormtroopers arrived. Henry and Felon had to flee and Jack's destiny is still unknown.Henry and Felon joined the Rebellion, at least for some time after the events on Coruscant.

(And I'm really sorry about the huge prologue: it was supposed to be the first Henry Phoenix-photonovel, but...)

The following takes place at 3 ABY.

Somewhere in Coruscant, Henry Phoenix and his pal, Felon Yorker, are drinking some drinks. After all, it's a hard job to avoid any Imperial officers.

Felon Yorker: Henry...do you remember the time when "Tread" Brokle came to arrest you?Henry Phoenix: Yeah, certainly! That guy was a moron!

Informant: Your brother wanted you to have this...and come to the address...Henry Phoenix: Thank you...I guess. I will come.

Felon Yorker: What was that?Henry Phoenix: It was about Jack...we'd better get going now. Okay?Felon Yorker: Yeah.

Curtis Manning: Now THAT was intresting, if anything!Bartender: Grooww! Rooooaaarr!

Bartender: Raarrarrhh...rraaahhah!Curtis Manning: *choke*...If it's about the drink...I will pay...it...*gasp*

Meanwhile:Informant: ...!Darth Vader: I have been waiting for you.

Darth Vader: Boy, I want to know where the Order of the Phoenix is located.Informant: I...*gasp*...die rather than tell you...

Darth Vader: That's a fine idea.

Elsewhere on Coruscant:Henry Phoenix: I'll try to find someone. Try to look like that you were guarding Curtis.Felon Yorker: Okay, boss.

Galen Nire: Hello. Who are you?Henry Phoenix: I'm Henry, Jack's brother.Galen Nire: But those clothes are not good for the Grand Master's brother!

Galen Nire: Buud, get here now.Buud (on commlink): Yes sir.

Buud: How can I help you, Master Nire?Galen Nire: Take mr. Phoenix to a locker room and give him some appropriate clothes.Buud: As you wish.

Buud: I can take that staff, sir.Felon Yorker: What? Oh, this? Go ahead.

Buud: Let's go, sir.Henry Phoenix: Okay...

Felon Yorker: Well, well, look at you! A Jedi Master!Henry Phoenix: Yeah. We need to hide Curtis, because the people down there do not actually like anbody with an Imperial uniform.Felon Yorker: But how do we do that?

Henry Phoenix: That's why I brought this.Felon Yorker: A piece of some cape?Henry Phoenix: We need to hide Curtis's face. I found one empty room. It's W2.

Henry Phoenix: But now, come on! I'll take care of those people.

Xentor Helros: An Imperial down here?Fitch Adell: This is outrageous!

Henry Phoenix: Please, sirs, I promise I will explain this to you.Rash Skyhek (thinking): I wonder who is under that hood?

Henry Phoenix: So, uh...what is this representing?Xentor Helros: It's the fight between our teams and Imperial forces in Ansion.

Rash Skyhek: Look, Qymael, I think that now would be a good time.Qymael: But I don't have any weapons!

Rash Skyhek: Well then, take this saber and let's get going. Are you sure that you remember your part?Qymael: Yes, I am!

Qymael: Everybody against the wall or Mr. Phoenix dies!Henry Phoenix: Do not...do not obey...

Qymael: Now what, Rash?Rash Skyhek: You keep an eye on the hostages while I try to hack into the system.Qymael: With pleasure...may I interrogate them?Rash Skyhek: Yeah, go ahead.

Qymael: Nobody move or my lightsaber will do the talking! Okay?

Qymael: And now, Mr. Phoenix...you need to learn to behave nicely!Galen Nire (whispering): I can't just sit here and watch...Fitch Adell (whispering): What are you going to do?Galen Nire (whispering): To end this.

Red. You've seen his head before on Rebelscum. I changed totally Red's story and made him a member of the Order so I needed to change his outfit, too. He's a WIP too like Jack: I need to drill his head.Recipe: Body: Saga 2002 Qui-Gon JinnArms&right hand: 500th/TSC Hoth wave VaderLeft Hand: Saga 2002 Bespin Duel Darth VaderLightsaber: Saga 2002 Pilot Obi-Wan

Bartender: Ho ho ho...you fools...Han Solo: There's always a backstabber or two in this cantina...boring.

Blue: Oww...where are we?Henry: This seems like...like...like...a Nazi fortress!Jack: Well duh, this is one of those fortresses!

Jack: Bartender? I should have know this.????: Bartender?! How dare you?! I'm not any bartender, it was just a disguise! Actually I'm...

Commando 1: Stop, Hitler!????: What?! No way!

Commando Pilot: Are you all right, sirs?Blue: Godd**n you, Phoenix! This ain't one of the Commados games!Jack: What?Blue: I didn't mean you...I meant the writer of these stories...this isn't Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines!

Also, this appears to be my very first photonovel with Photoshop effects (Blue's skintone, contrast of pictures). ;D

And just as a side note, the songs sanged by the characters are some Finnish songs.

"Ei tippa tapa" (A drop doesn't kill) is probably the most famous of these songs. (The voice sample is a "bad karaoke" version of the song...)

"Volga" is also a good song, but the version that Lando sings is a "bad karaoke" version of the real song.

"Parkanon Shellillä" (In the Shell of Parkano, [lyrics: ...shellillä öisen Parkanon...] is a new song by Finnish artist Simo Silmu (and I like this guy's voice!). The "Shell" is a gas station and Parkano is a city/town in Finland. And this song is sang by the original artist, no need to be afraid of hearing more "bad karaoke" versions of songs.

You really did not understand what I just explained to you? Good.By the way, click on the song's name if you want to hear a small sample of the song. When a new window opens up, there's a play button. Just click it.

(Yes, this photonovel was made for fun and for your education; now you know a bit more about Finnish songs! Lol.)

EDIT: I totally forgot Boba's song - Punaiset on silmät (The eyes are red) - from the list. It's also a "bad karaoke" version of a song called "Sininen ja valkoinen" (Blue and white), but it's kinda funny. Oh well, you really do not understand what's the point of listing these songs and telling you about Finland, do you?
